●
Exercise caution on low traction surfaces.
u
The tires slip more easily on such
surfaces and braking distances are
longer.
●
Avoid continuous braking.
u
Repeated braking, such as when
descending long, steep slopes can
seriously overheat the brakes, reducing
their effectiveness. Use engine braking
with intermittent use of the brakes to
reduce speed.
●
For full braking effectiveness, operate both
the front and rear brakes together.
#
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
CB300RA only
This model is equipped with an Anti-lock Brake
System (ABS) designed to help prevent the
brakes from locking up during hard braking.
The ABS functions with information provided by
the IMU (Inertia Measurement Unit).
●
ABS does not reduce braking distance. In
certain circumstances, ABS may result in a
longer stopping distance.
●
ABS does not function at speeds below 6
mph (10 km/h).
●
The brake lever and pedal may recoil slightly
when applying the brakes. This is normal.
●
Always use the recommended front/rear
tires and sprockets to ensure correct ABS
operation.
